INTEGRAL ALUMINUM INDUSTRY FOR THE SOUTHEAST -- CONCERNS AND OUTLOOK

Reserves of kaolin in Georgia are more than adequate to support an alumina or aluminum industry. The author gives economic estimates regarding a hydrochloric acid extraction method based on a million short tons a year production of alumina and concludes that a commercial alumina-from-kaolin facility in Georgia could be on stream between late 1980 and 1985.
